Hello, the problem is definitelly a bug in GRUB installer, which doesn't handle installing GRUB with /boot on MD correctly. I filed a bug into SuSE bugzilla - see bug 48938 if you have access, and assigned to project manager to decide if it should be fixed for SP1. Dne pátek 03 prosinec 2004 14:56 jste napsal(a):

Attached are log files. BTW, these are logs from a good install, which I changed the "(null)" to "(hd0,0)".

Thanks for looking into this, and please let me know if you need anything else.

Regards, Ben

Hello!

In /usr/share/YaST2/include/bootloader/grub/misc.ycp,

string dev = select ( select ( filter (`l, device_map, ``(l[1]:"" == o_dev)), 0, [] ), 0, "" ); if (dev == "") dev = "(null)"; else if (num != 0 && num != "") { num = num - 1; string number = sformat ("%1", num); dev = substring (dev, 0, size (dev) - 1) + "," + number + ")"; } return dev;

It is setting dev to (null) which almost certainly break grub. Don't know why dev is "" to beging with, but setting it to a more sensible default value, ((hd0,0) maybe?) fix the problem.

Yes, the (null) is incorrect, but the reason is in empty dev (as you wrote).

Could you send me the logs (/var/log/YaST2/*) to examine what is wrong?
